Biography
Professor Daniel Kelly holds the Chair of Tissue Engineering at Trinity College Dublin. The goal of his laboratory is to develop novel tissue engineering and 3D bioprinting strategies to regenerate damaged and diseased musculoskeletal tissues. To date he has published over 220 articles in peer-reviewed journals, and has successfully supervised over 25 PhD students to completion. He is the recipient of five European Research Council awards (Starter grant 2010; Consolidator grant 2015; Proof of Concept grant 2017, 2023; Advanced grant 2021), which have led to the development of new single stage strategies for bone and cartilage repair and innovations in 3D (bio)printing for the regeneration of musculoskeletal tissues. He is also a co-founder of Altach Biomedical, which is pioneering the development of extracellular matrix derived scaffolds to regenerate damaged knee joints. Other notable recognitions of Prof Kelly"s academic work include being awarded the Science Foundation Ireland Industry Partnership Award (2019), the Silver Medal from the Section of Bioengineering of the Royal Academy of Medicine in Ireland (2022) and the mid-term career award from the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International (TERMIS) EU society (2023).

Description
Bone and cartilage tissue engineering My lab has demonstrated that it is possible to engineer zonal tissues such as articular cartilage by recapitulating the gradients in regulatory signals that during development and skeletal maturation are believed to drive spatial changes in stem cell differentiation and tissue organization (10.1371/journal.pone.0060764). We have demonstrated how complex tissues, such as the bone-cartilage interface, can be regenerated by designing tissue engineering strategies that recapitulate aspects of the normal long bone developmental process (10.1016/j.actbio.2012.11.008). We have also shown that it is possible to scale-up such developmentally inspired processes to regenerate large bone defects (10.1016/j.biomaterials.2018.01.057), or tissue engineer entire new bones (10.1089/biores.2015.0014) or biological implants for whole joint resurfacing (10.1016/j.biomaterials.2022.121750). To extend the utility of this strategy, we have used 3D bioprinting to engineer scaled-up hypertrophic cartilage templates for bone organ engineering (10.1002/adhm.201600182) and large bone defect repair (10.1016/j.actbio.2022.07.037). We have also used phenotypically distinct microtissues within microphysiological models of bone (10.1088/1758-5090/acd6be) and as biological building blocks for the biofabrication of osteochondral grafts for synovial joint regeneration (10.1016/j.biomaterials.2022.121750). Single stage strategies for bone and cartilage repair In 2010 I was awarded a European Research Council (ERC) starter grant to develop novel stem cell based therapies to regenerate damaged articular cartilage. To realise the goals of this project, we first developed a range of decellularized extracellular matrix (ECM) derived scaffolds for articular cartilage (10.1016/j.actbio.2014.05.030 & 10.1016/j.mtbio.2022.100343), bone (10.22203/eCM.v033a10) and osteochondral defect repair (10.1016/j.biomaterials.2018.09.044 & 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.03.009), and have tested these scaffolds in relevant pre-clinical animal models. We have also demonstrated that the source tissue of ECM scaffolds plays a key role in regulating the phenotype of both macrophages and skeletal stem cells (10.1016/j.regen.2021.100041). We recently completed an ERC proof-of-concept to address challenges with the clinical translation of this project (10.1016/j.mtbio.2022.100343), and have recently established a TCD spin-out company (in partnership with NLC Health) to move this technology into the clinic. 3D (bio)printing for the regeneration of musculoskeletal tissues In recent years we have utilised emerging biofabrication and bioprinting strategies to engineer prevascularised implants for bone repair (10.1016/j.actbio.2021.03.003) and structurally organised articular cartilage (10.1016/j.biomaterials.2018.12.028 & 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2022.121405) and meniscus tissue (10.1016/j.actbio.2022.12.047). As part of my ERC consolidator grant, we modified such inks for gene (10.1016/j.jconrel.2019.03.006 & 10.1089/ten.tea.2016.0498) and growth factor (10.1016/j.actbio.2021.04.016 & 10.1038/s41598-017-17286-1) delivery. Furthermore, we bioprinted implants containing spatiotemporally defined patterns of growth factors and demonstrated that printed constructs containing a gradient of VEGF, coupled with spatially defined BMP-2 localization and release kinetics, accelerated large bone defect healing 10.1126/sciadv.abb5093). We have also used 3D printing techniques to produce fibre-reinforced cartilaginous templates, and assessed the efficacy of such constructs in a caprine model of osteochondral defect repair (10.1016/j.actbio.2020.05.040). We have also demonstrated how emerging additive manufacturing techniques such as melt electrowriting (10.1016/j.addma.2022.102998) can be used to produce scaffolds capable of directing angiogenesis and the regeneration of large bone defects (10.1088/1758-5090/ac88a1 & 10.1002/adhm.202302057).Projects
- Title
- Articular cartilage regeneration through the recruitment of bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells into extracelluar matrix derived scaffolds anchored by 3D printed polymeric supports
- Summary
- Osteoarthritis (OA), the most common form of arthritis, is a serious disease of the joints affecting nearly 10% of the population worldwide. The onset of OA has been associated with defects to articular cartilage that lines the bones of synovial joints. Current strategies to treat articular cartilage defects are ineffective and/or prohibitively expensive. The aim of ANCHOR is to develop and commercialise a new medicinal product for articular cartilage regeneration that recruits endogenous bone marrow derived stem cells into an extracellular matrix derived scaffold anchored to the subchondral bone by 3D printed polymeric supports. By recruiting endogenous cells into a supporting scaffold, ANCHOR will obviate the need for pre-seeding scaffolds with cells prior to implantation into cartilage defects, thereby dramatically reducing the cost and complexity of the repair procedure. It will also overcome the need for suturing of a scaffold into a cartilage defect, which is a very time consuming and technically challenging surgical procedure. Finally, the inherent chondro-inductivity of the cartilage ECM derived scaffolds developed by the applicant will maximise the potential for hyaline cartilage regeneration. The project will leverage the applicants extensive experience in ECM derived biomaterials and 3D printing to develop a new product with significant commercial potential. The impact of ANCHOR will be multi-faceted: it will transform how damaged joints are treated by orthopaedic surgeons, it will create economic value through the commercialization of IP, and most importantly it will improve patient experience and their long-term health and well-being.

- Printing spatially and temporally defined boundaries to direct the self-organization of cells and cellular aggregates to engineer functional tissues
- Summary
- Regeneration of musculoskeletal tissues requires engineered grafts that mimic the heterogeneous and anisotropic structure and mechanics of the native tissue. Despite decades of research, existing regenerative strategies have failed to produce tissues mimicking this exquisite structural complexity, dramatically limiting their clinical utility. Clues to addressing this grand challenge can be found in normal tissue development, which relies upon both the self-organizing potential of stem cells as well as key physical instructions from the microenvironment to establish final tissue architectures. Recognising this, the goal of 4D-BOUNDARIES is to leverage emerging 3D bioprinting technologies to provide precise physical boundary conditions and spatially localised morphogens to self-organizing cells and cellular aggregates to engineer structurally anisotropic and mechanically functional musculoskeletal tissues. To realise this goal, 4D-BOUNDARIES will build upon applicant"s extensive expertise in bioprinting and bioink development to produce two new biofabrication platforms that provide temporary guiding structures to self-organizing tissues. To demonstrate the utility of these bioprinting platforms they will be used to engineer, for the first time, patient-specific cartilage and meniscal grafts that mimic the internal and external anatomy and anisotropic mechanical properties of the native tissues. The ability to bioprint such functional tissues will transform the field of orthopaedic medicine, providing grafts to biologically resurface large areas of damaged articular cartilage and meniscus and thereby prevent the development of osteoarthritis " a debilitating disease affecting millions of people worldwide. The impact of 4D-BUNDARAIRES will not be limited to the orthopaedic space, as it is envisioned that these new bioprinting

- Melt Electrowriting of Multi-layered Scaffolds for osteochondral defect repair
- Summary
- An osteochondral (OC) defect is a focal area of joint damage that involves both the articular cartilage and the underlying subchondral bone. Such joint damage is strongly associated with the development of premature osteoarthritis, motivating the development of novel strategies to regenerate OC defects. 3D printing is enabling the manufacturing of geometrically complex biomaterial implants with user defined compositions and architectures, which can potentially be used as single stage, off-the-shelf scaffolds for treating complex injuries. Despite significant progress in this field, 3D printed scaffolds capable of regenerating OC defects remain elusive. This can potentially be linked to the spatial resolution possible using traditional additive manufacturing techniques. The melt electrowriting (MEW) technique has recently emerged as a novel additive manufacturing platform capable of producing polymeric scaffolds with fiber diameters in the submicron range in a highly controllable manner. We have recently developed MEW scaffolds that support superior bone regeneration compared to scaffolds produced using traditional additive manufacturing techniques. Furthermore, we have generated preliminary data demonstrating that multi-layered scaffolds generated by MEW are capable of enhancing the repair of critically sized OC defects in a pre-clinical large animal model. The MEMS project aims to further enhance the regenerative capacity of these MEW OC scaffolds by (i) optimising their architecture, and (ii) functionalizing their surface with extracellular matrix (ECM) components supportive of tissue-specific regeneration. The output of MEMS will be an off-the-shelf implant capable of directing endogenous OC defect regeneration without the need for delivering exogenous cells to the defect site.

- CarBon - Controlling Cartilage to Bone Transitions for Improved Treatment of Bone Defects and Osteoarthritis
- Summary
- Many people suffer from diseases of the locomotor system, such as bone defects or osteoarthritis, for which current treatments are insufficient. Understanding and controlling the dual character of cartilage is pivotal: insufficient transition impairs bone healing, and undesired transition to bone leads to osteoarthritis. In CarBon, state of the art in vitro, in silico and in vivo models will be uniquely combined to elucidate how this transition is orchestrated and how it can be modulated. In a multifactorial approach, a network of 14 young scientists will aim to identify the biological and physical factors that determine the fate of cartilage. Knowledge from the fields of tissue engineering, cartilage and bone developmental biology and pathobiology will be combined with skills from the disciplines of cell biology, computational modelling, biotechnology (bioreactors, biomaterials) and drug discovery.

- 3D Printing of Cell Laden Biomimetic Materials and Biomolecules for Joint Regeneration. (ERC-2014-CoG -647004)
- Summary
- Osteoarthritis (OA) is a serious disease of the joints affecting nearly 10% of the population worldwide. Realising an efficacious therapeutic solution for treating OA remains one of the greatest challenges in the field of orthopaedic medicine. This proposal envisions a future where 3D bioprinting systems located in hospitals will provide 'off-the-shelf', patient-specific biological implants to treat diseases such as OA. To realise this vision, this project will use 3D bioprinting to generate anatomically accurate, biomimetic constructs that can be used to regenerate both the cartilage and bone in a diseased joint. If successful, such an implant would form the basis of a truly transformative therapy for treating degenerative joint disease.

- A tissue engineered biological joint replacement prosthesis for the treatment of degenerative joint disease (12/IA/1554)
- Summary
- Realising an efficacious therapeutic solution for treating osteoarthritis remains elusive and is considered one of the greatest challenges in the field of orthopaedic medicine. Tissue engineering aims to replace or regenerate damaged or diseased tissues through the combined use of cells, scaffolds and physio-chemical cues. The aim of this proposal is to tissue engineer a biological joint replacement prosthesis using mesenchymal stem cells (MCSs) as the basis of a novel therapy for treating degenerative joint disease. This will be achieved in part by recapitulating key aspects of normal bone and joint development, specifically the process of endochondral ossification where a hypertrophic cartilaginous intermediary is replaced by bone. The first phase of the project will attempt to tissue engineer a hypertrophic cartilaginous construct using MSCs that mimics the anatomy of the knee joint and then demonstrate that such a construct will be replaced by bone in vivo. The second phase of the project will use MSCs to engineer a stable layer of articular cartilage on the surface of the hypertrophic construct. The final phase of the project will evaluate the potential of the proposed biological prosthesis to regenerate both the articular cartilage and underlying bone of the medial femorotibial joint.

- Porous decellularized hypertrophic tissue engineered cartilage as a scaffold for large bone defect healing
- Summary
- Most bones develop by endochondral ossification, the replacement of hypertrophic cartilaginous templates with bone. It has recently been demonstrated that adult human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be used to engineer cartilaginous tissues that act as a template for bone formation in vivo21. While conceptually appealing as a treatment option for bone regeneration, clinical translation of any cell-based therapy is hampered by high costs and significant regulatory challenges. The hypothesis of this proposal is that a porous scaffold derived from decellularized hypertrophic cartilage engineered using allogenic bone marrow derived MSCs will be highly osteoinductive, support vascularisation, allow osteoclastic resorption and will promote bone formation by host progenitor cells. This scaffold will be compared to a highly porous collagen-hydroxyapatite scaffold which has been designed specifically for bone repair. The scaffold will be evaluated by demonstrating its ability to induce ectopic bone formation in a subcutaneous nude mouse model. If proven effective, such a treatment option would provide an off-the-shelf solution for the treatment of large bone defects.

- Novel mesenchymal stem cell based therapies for articular cartilage repair
- Summary
- Once damaged articular cartilage has a limited reparative capacity and thus lesions often progress to arthritis. This has motivated the development of cell based therapies for the repair of cartilage defects such as autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI). Such therapies are limited in two ways. Firstly, they do not result in the regeneration of hyaline cartilage and hence the repair is temporary. Secondly, widespread adaptation into the clinical setting is impeded by practical issues such as the high cost and time required for culture expansion of chondrocytes. The applicant is of the belief that both issues cannot currently be addressed by a single new therapy. Therefore the proposed project will put forward separate solutions to both issues. The first theme of the project will determine whether freshly isolated (not culture expanded) infrapatellar fat pad derived cells, embedded in a hydrogel containing microbead-encapsulated growth factors, can used to engineer functional cartilage tissue. A component of this theme will involve magnetic microbead selection for cells with surface markers associated with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Theme 2 of the proposed project will explore an alternative therapy for cartilage defect repair. Specifically, the objective is to tissue engineer in vitro a functional tissue with a zonal structure mimicking that of normal articular cartilage using MSCs. It is hypothesised that such a zonal structure can be generated by controlling the oxygen tension and mechanical environment within the developing tissue. The final theme of the project will be to determine if repairing high-load bearing cartilage defects using such tissue engineered grafts will result in significantly improved repair compared to ACI.

- Mechanobiology of mesenchymal stem cells for articular cartilage repair
- Summary
- Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have the ability to differentiate into distinctive end-stage cell types, such as those that synthesise specific mesenchymal tissues including cartilage, bone, tendon and muscle. MSCs have a number of advantages over primary chondrocytes for cartilage repair, including their ease of expansion and maintenance of phenotype. It has been shown that MSCs isolated from patients with knee OA show greater chondrogenic capability than primary chondrocytes obtained from articular cartilage biopsies from the same OA joints. However the clinical use of MSCs is restricted by insufficient knowledge of how the environment such cells will experience in vivo will influence the long-term stability of the repair tissue. The objective of this research is to provide a better understanding of how the mechanical loading experienced by MSCs or engineered tissues in vivo will influence their differentiation pathway and the quality and type of tissue they produce. Furthermore we wish to investigate whether the mechanical properties of scaffolds used to provide functional support to implanted cells can be optimised to promote and enhance chondrogenesis of the repair tissue.

- A new constitutive framework to investigate the role of mechanical forces on protein synthesis and organization during differentiation of mesenchymal progenitor cells
- Summary
- It is believed that the mechanical environment of mesenchymal stem cells can influence their differentiation pathway. A number of different hypotheses have been proposed which describe how mechanical forces can regulate this pathway. It has been possible to test many of these ideas by encapsulating the hypothesis into an algorithm, and then conducting 'numerical experiments' to determine if the hypotheses on which the algorithm is based can predict realistic patterns of tissue differentiation. It is still unclear as to how the mechanical properties of tissues change during the differentiation process due to changes in protein synthesis, assembly, cross-linking, orientation etc. The hypothesis under investigation here is that mechanical forces regulate protein synthesis and organization during the differentiation of cells of the mesenchymal lineage, and hence the resulting mechanical properties of the differentiating tissue.

- Design and development of a novel device to control the fabrication, confined compression and in situ delivery of cell-seeded collagen gel scaffolds
- Summary
- Tissue engineering strategies offer a potential solution for cartilage defect repair, however results to date have been mixed. Delivering a functional cell-seeded construct to the defect site would appear to be critical for successful cartilage repair. Recently it has been shown that plastic compression of collagen gel scaffolds leads to significant increase in the mechanical properties of the scaffold. The objective of this project is to develop a hand-held clinical device to control the gelation and levels of confined compression applied to cell-seeded collagen gels prior to implantation. By controlling the rate and magnitude of the confined compression, it is hypothesised that a gradient scaffold with depth dependant mechanical properties similar to normal articular cartilage can be fabricated and delivered directly to the defect site

- The influence of biophysical stimuli on tissue differentiation and matrix synthesis in vitro.
- Summary
- Recent in vitro studies have demonstrated that both chondrogenesis and osteogeneis of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be induced using specific growth factors. Mechanical loading is known to influence the biosynthetic activity of osteoblasts and chondrocytes, however the effects of mechanical stimulation on regulating the differentiation pathway of MSCs remains unclear. The question that this proposal wishes to addresses is whether cartilage and bone like tissues can be selectively engineered using the same scaffold type and the same cell type (marrow-derived MSCs) by varying the mechanical environment of the cells.

- Development of a method to predict which carotid plaques will rupture using Computerised Tomographic Angiography(CTA) and Duplex Ultrasound(US) with Grey-Scale Median imaging, numerical modelling, tissue testing and human serum markers
- Summary
- Many atherosclerotic plaques form in arteries, some cause stenosis and symptoms of ischemia, whilst others lie in regions of expansive remodelling unrestricting blood flow. It is these vulnerable plaques that can be prone to sudden rupture and lead to an acute stroke or sudden death without warning. The aim of this project is therefore to identify the key characteristics normally associated with vulnerable carotid plaques, such as geometry and plaque material properties using CTA and Duplex US with GSM imaging techniques. It is then proposed to use these images to generate 3-D realistic numerical models of the vessel to estimate the stresses in the plaque under physiological loading conditions

- A novel device to control in situ the thermal gelation and concentration of cell-seeded hydrogels
- Summary
- It is believed that injuries to cartilage predispose a person to osteoarthritis in later life and eventually to a requirement for joint replacement surgery. Injectable chondrocyte-seeded hydrogels can potentially be used to fill cartilage defects with a functional repair tissue. Ensuring that the hydrogel has the appropriate mechanical properties in situ (e.g. stiffness, permeability, porosity) is critical for successful repair. The objective of this project is to develop a clinical device capable of controlling the hydrogel concentration and the rate of cooling during gelation in situ, which can be used to alter the depth dependant mechanical properties of the construct.

- Mini Stents: A novel stent system consisting of multiple, independent stents delivered from a single device
- Summary
- While successful in preventing elastic recoil following balloon angioplasty, stenting results in increased injury and ultimately restenosis in 10-40% of cases. Complication rates are higher in long and tortuous vessels, in many cases due to the inability of a relatively stiff stent to conform to the vessel's curvature. The objective of this project is design a novel stent system that can comply with any vessel wall, regardless of its tortuosity, thereby minimising vessel injury.

- Computational modelling of in-stent restenosis
- Summary
- The major limitation of angioplasty with or without stenting is restenosis of the target vessel. There are a number of possible mechanisms responsible for restenosis, including neointimia formation and negative remodelling due to uncontrolled cell proliferation, migration and matrix synthesis following injury to the vessel wall. Drug-eluting stents have been successful in reducing the incidence of restenosis by targeting some (but not all) of the biological processes contributing to the condition, although even their effectiveness has recently been queried. The objective of this project is to develop a computational model of the biochemical and physical mechanisms responsible for in-stent restenosis.

- OPTIMIZING THE DESIGN OF PERIPHERAL STENTS USING FINITE ELEMENT MODELLING
- Summary
- Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow through the arms or legs, causing pain, cramping or heaviness in the muscle. Causes of PVD include atherosclerosis, scar tissue and blood clots. In patients with PVD, balloon angioplasty, with or without stenting, may be used to open up a blocked iliac or femoral artery that supplies blood to the leg; however the procedural and long-term success of peripheral stenting has been inferior to coronary stenting. Restenosis rates are high, and technical difficulties have been encountered with delivering these large stents from a balloon catheter. The objective of this project is to use finite element modelling to understand how the design of a peripheral stent influences (i) its deployment from a balloon, and (ii) the stresses developed in the vessel wall, which are known to influence restenosis rates. Ultimately the objective if this project will be to optimise the design of a peripheral stent so that it can be deployed successfully from a balloon catheter and will minimise the stresses generated in the vessel wall.
